Background

 * Nevan is a traditional Irish boy's name meaning "Little Saint".


 * A Leanashe is a type of Irish vampire similar to a succubus which lured away men with her beauty. Once she captured them with a spell, she would drain away their life essence through exhaustive love making in exchange giving them a creative drive in the arts which eventually corrupts their mind completely to drawing only for them. The only written reference to it is by Montague Summers, and it is not certain that the legend is authentic.

Trivia

 * Nevan is voiced by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, although she is only present as the ADR director in the credits.
 * Mary Elizabeth McGlynn also provided the voice of Echidna in Devil May Cry 4.
